Thank you for the reply. If we use dropdown list (list item), the drawback is;

if we press A, the pointer goes to the record which starts with with A and immediately if we press B the record points to the record which starts with B. However the requirement is to, point the record to the record which starts with AB. Is it possible, other than using LOV.

I remember a colleague tricking forms to work like single character by
creating temprory items each one character wide and stacking them
together and putting a post-text trigger on each field to run a select
to output to a decription field along side the stacked six single
character fields..
This is the only way I've seen it done..
